Well highest package entirely depends on the kind of company u land up in......Most finance, consulting and IT companies allow ICE students.....SO lets say a ICE guy gets selected in an Investment bank like Nomura, then the highest would be very high......so its not fixed....core companies dont pay as much.....
As far as IT is concerned, there are many companies allowing ICEites like Tejas,Cisco,Amdocs,Mckinsey,Aricent ,IBM,TECS,HCL and many more.So if you really want to go in IT/software field, nothing should be stopping you. If you have a percentage in the range of 60-65, its best you get your software fundamentals clear, as there are many many companies visiting NSIT which offer software profile and where ice people are allowed,and it is relatively easy to get into them also.
Now, coming on to Non technical companies, again ICEites have variety of choices, like Delloits,Nomura bank,Bain,Tower watsons and many more. So again, if you really want to explore the non technical side of yours then go for it, no barriers are there at all!!!
Now, coming on to my domain, that is Core.
If you want to get into ICE core companies there you have PLENTY of choices, like BHEL,IOCL,GAIL,IGL,Kazstroy,Halliburton,Bechtel,Relaince Power,Doosan,GS Constructions,Daeyang Shipping corporation and EIL (all of these visit NSIT).
You need to have above 70% aggregate overall(till 5 semesters) , if you want to see yourself as a core Instrumentation and control engineer. You need to be strong in your core subjects like Industrial Instrumentation, Control systems, Process control and Power elctronics.
So instead of thinking if you shall be allowed in a certain area or not, start following your passion and work towards it from as early as possible.
Good luck!!!
